Strawberries could be fewer and more expensive because of higher temperatures caused by climate change, according to research from the University of Waterloo.

Sustainable farming practices could include optimizing irrigation to ensure adequate water supply during heatwaves, using drip irrigation and scheduling operations to avoid peak periods of hot weather as well as using shading plants and installing shade structures to mitigate heat stress.
